BOTOX® Cosmetic

---

When you smile, laugh, frown, or look puzzled, you contract the muscles of your face. Over time, these contractions produce permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin, especially around the eyes and mouth, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. These lines can make you look older, sad, angry or tired. BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments can not only prevent you from deepening these lines during natural facial movements, they can also erase these marks of aging, leaving you looking younger and more refreshed. 

 BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the country and one of our most requested services. Quick, safe and effective, BOTOX® reduces or eliminates facial lines and wrinkles for up to six months with no downtime and little to no discomfort. Through a series of tiny injections, BOTOX® gives you a rejuvenated look by smoothing unwanted lines such as deep brow furrows.

Originally approved by the FDA for the treatment of eye and muscle spasms, BOTOX® was quickly recognized for its cosmetic value. 

Physicians have been using BOTOX® Cosmetic for years as a treatment to correct visible signs of stress and aging. The medication relaxes the muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. When injected in small doses in specific areas, BOTOX® injections block nerve muscles responsible for the repetitive actions that cause fine lines and wrinkles. In this way, BOTOX® smoothes the lines in the skin that make you look tired or angry.

Doctors who are less familiar with the technique could leave you looking “frozen,” with a heavy brow, or perpetually surprised. Our doctors are intimately familiar with BOTOX® Cosmetic and other botulinum toxin treatments, having successfully treated hundreds of patients at our office. Furthermore, we always take the time to talk with each candidate before beginning the injections to find out what he or she wants to achieve and to determine how best to address their unique cosmetic priorities and concerns. 

Immediately following the BOTOX® treatment, some patients may experience mild bruising, which will go away shortly. Although time to onset of action varies from person to person, most will see softening of their wrinkles in as little as one week after treatment. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic typically last up to three months, although some enjoy longer-lasting results, especially after receiving several BOTOX® treatments.

BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment will relax the muscles in your face and soften the skin, giving you a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
